1/4 cup 27g / 1ozDiced carrots

2   Garbanzo beans - (16 oz ea)
  Salt and pepper
1/2 cup 73g / 2.6ozChopped parsley - divided

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion and carrots and cook until the onion is translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook 2 minutes more.

Add 2 cups of chicken stock, the cayenne pepper, oregano, Madras and Indian curry powders, curry paste, potatoes and garbanzo beans. Stir to combine well. At this point, the stock should cover 3/4 of the mixture; if necessary, add more stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the remaining stock in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add 1/4 cup of parsley to the skillet. Bring the stew to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. As the stock evaporates, add 1/2 cup warm stock to the stew at a time, as though making a risotto. The stew will thicken as it cooks.

Just before serving, stir in the remaining parsley. Transfer the stew to a warm tureen or bowl to serve. Serve with roasted leg of lamb, tandoori chicken skewers or grilled curry fish filets.
